The first Critical Conservation Assembly: Communities of Practice
The Critical Conservation project is delivering the first public gathering in the Critical Conservation Assembly series.
The event invites participants to explore how communities of practice reshape conservation when it is understood as a collective practice that sustains and transmits knowledge, values, gestures, and forms of communal life.
Bringing together scholars, Indigenous custodians and knowledge holders, artists, craftspeople, conservators, curators, community heritage practitioners, activists, and cultural workers, the Assembly will create a space for collective knowledge production and exchange, approaching conservation as a relational, pluricultural, and political practice.
The Critical Conservation project is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The Assembly is organised with the support and participation of the Swiss Conservation-Restoration Campus (Swiss CRC).
